Hey Andrea, thank you
Pre-auth time limits have extended and become more consistent over the years – but certainly still not long enough for the bonds we keep over time. Pre-auths would work well the casual (one-off) bond situations, e.g. a hall hire on a weekend with the bond being refunded the next working week.
You’re so right … no deposits would be the ideal state given the amount of administration involved in managing them.
I’d love to find a council who has stopped taking them and talk to them about their experience.
See you in March 🙂
Cherie
